I have pretty much maxed out my turbo. I finally got my tuned by AL and dynoed 360whp/385wtq. HP could of been higher but my AIR fuel drops to around 10.8 around 6k rpm due to stock plugs.

Anyways the first 2 weeks it was holy SHIIIIt this car is fast now its "ehhhh this pulls little" I don't think I lost any horsepower but I think it just me.

Does this happen to everyone? I thought somewhere around my power level I would be satisfied.

 

Nah, your car ain't slow or losing power, you just got used to your car 8- ) Remember the first time when ya test drove the evo, and you were like holy **** it pulls so hard!! But now its like, ehh.. its just another evo, nothing special 8- ) That's how I feel, so I am gonna start doin some more modding here and there 8- ) And O yeah, nobody is ever satisfied with the power they make, we all are addicted to modding our cars for more power!!

 

Your use to it dude...

 

Agree

 

That is why I am going to save up and do a bunch of mods and a tune all at once just to have that feeling again like when I first bought the car of "wow this thing is fn fast!" Now it's like, "ehh, its OK I guess." But I know I will never be satisfied. If you are a true car guy, then you will never be with any car.

 

Mine always feels slow and it traps at 129. You just get used to it. Thats why I cant turn my boost down. I just dont floor it on pump gas, I get very sad

 

just drive it late at night . the cold air will make it feel monsterous lol

 

I wish I can stay at first week for the rest my life so I dont dig into my DAMM POCKET.

 

I agree, I'm never satisfied, but neither is my wallet trying compensate for it.

 

Noticable difference between a cool 40 deg morning and a 80 deg humid nite for sure.

 

that's funny cause i keep telling my friend that i feel that my car is slow, that boost doesn't really kick ya back in da seat anymore, and they all look at me "ARE YOU STUPID?" yes, that is the response i get quite frequently when saying such things, they all say the car is faster than before, but to me it's just ahhhhh, snore, hahahahaha, i only get my motivation up when i beat another fast car, like a sti or something.

 

Aside from just getting used to it, we always see posts like this in the late Spring time. It's getting warmer and more humid.. your car gets slower.

 

Mine feels slow now as well. Then i get very sad when i think how much faster a 9 must feel with the same mods

 

Ever since I bought my 9, I was not too impressed. I was comming from a modded GTi that was keeping up with stock evo 8 on rolls.
Everyone that geys in the passanger seat say it's MUCH faster then my GTi was. I think it is also due to the fact that is AWD and you don't feel that power as much, even though its there.

 

+1 to difference between driving in the morning to work and then going home at nite or out for lunch. Completely different car sometimes.
